"Dad, this is the last tI'll call you that." Chloe turned to face the crowd.
"From this day forward, I, Chloe, have nothing to do with the Meadows family. I'm no longer the daughter of the Meadows family. Whoever wants the title can have it! I'm done with it."

The crowd buzzed with whispers.
"She actually went through with tearing her dress to break kinship." "Say what you want, but she's got guts. The Meadows family is one of the top families in Riverbrook.

The party was more than halfway through, and Connor hadn't arrived. She had thought he wouldn't come. CUnexpectedly, he hadn't broken his promise. Something important must have delayed him. The thought that Connor might have put aside extremely important work just to attend her birthday party made her as jubilant as a lark.
She ran up to Connor like she had wings. Her voice even carried a hint of shyness. "Mr. Connor, why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for so long." X
